Bug report: issue when using Auth custom driver

[noefleury]

Laravel Version

12.29.0

PHP Version

8.4

Database Driver & Version

No response

Description

The following error is triggered :

Auth driver ['my-driver'] for guard [api] is not defined.

Steps To Reproduce

On projects using new slim skeleton (L11), there is an issue when adding our own auth driver like that : Auth::extend('my-driver').

Then when running these commands, it's broken :

> Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump
> @php artisan package:discover --ansi

In AuthManager.php line 98:
`Auth driver ['my-driver'] for guard [api] is not defined.`

Still not found how to reproduce 100% of the time in local, but it's occurring in CI.

Notes

After some investigation, I've realized this is somehow linked to the new requirement from Laravel 12.29.0 which is "phiki/phiki": "v2.0.0" added by this PR : #57036

It is possible to reproduce the issue on older Laravel versions just by running : composer require phiki/phiki.

I still don't found what is the issue, but when I'll have time I will create a demo repository.

Hey there, thanks for reporting this issue.

We'll need more info and/or code to debug this further. Can you please create a repository with the command below, commit the code that reproduces the issue as one separate commit on the main/master branch and share the repository here?

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Laravel installer in order to run this command. Please also make sure you have both Git & the GitHub CLI tool properly set up.

laravel new bug-report --github="--public"

Do not amend and create a separate commit with your custom changes. After you've posted the repository, we'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

Hi, based on PR #57091, I considered creating a package to help fix the issue. The package is available in this repository laravel-auth-package-discovery-fix.

Hi, sorry for my late answer.

Found a bit earlier that the problem wasn't directly linked to the Laravel logic but some internal logic we have to handle errors (error was triggered before the AuthServiceProvider).

The real error was linked to the new phiki/phiki package which use a cache layer : Please provide a valid cache path.

Depending on your PHP image and if the cache folder don't exist during postAutoloadDump, an error could occurred.

This should work if folder exist with correct permissions : mkdir -p storage/framework/cache.

Thank you.
